Table - best surf conditions forecast for Costeño Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Costeño Beach over the next couple of weeks.
We've got a solid run of waves coming, but the wind is going to be the main character for a lot of this stretch. Most of the time, that cross-onshore breeze will put a bit of a chop on the surface, making things a little bumpy. The real standout, and where you want to be, is the morning of Monday, July 13th. The wind is glassy, and we're looking at a 6ft swell from the NE. That combined energy is sitting at a moderate 457, and the conditions are set to be clean and good. That's your best bet for a smooth, fun session.
After that, the rest of the first week is a bit of a grind. The swell holds in the 6ft to 8ft range, but that persistent cross-onshore wind keeps the quality marginal. The afternoon of Saturday, July 18th puts a big number in the energy department at 838, and it's glassy with an 8ft NE swell. That's a big, clean wave, but at that size, it's really only for the experienced crew.
There's another window of quality at the start of the third week. The morning of Monday, July 20th, the wind is completely calm, glassy, with a 6ft NE swell and a combined energy of 517. That is another prime time to paddle out for clean, lined-up waves.
After that, the swell drops off significantly going into the 22nd through the 24th. We're looking at smaller surf, around 4ft to 4ft, and very weak energy in the 147 to 305 range. Conditions are still mixed with onshore and cross-onshore winds. It's a quiet spell.
Then, leading into the final weekend of the forecast, Saturday, July 25th shows a little spark. The morning is glassy with a 6ft swell from the ENE, energy at 229, and the afternoon goes completely calm and glassy with a 5ft NE swell. A nice way to end the run.
Overall, your target is that Monday morning, July 13th. The following Monday, July 20th, is also a top contender. The big Saturday the 18th is for the experts only.

The above surf forecast table for Costeño Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Costeño Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Costeño Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
